resurrección

/resureɡˈθjon/ · B2 · noun · f

resurrection

✝️🌅 re- (again) + surgere (rise) = rise again; sounds like re-sur-RECK-shun

Latin resurrectio comes from re- (again) + surgere (to rise). The Spanish ending -ción matches English -tion, so resurrección is almost the same as resurrection: a rising again after death.
